WANTED TO DIE.
Teigns Toothache to Purchase a Deadly
Drug.

Gus Williams is the name of an ordi-
narily peaceable and industrious Swede
who earns a livelihood for himself and
family by performing such odd Jobs as
NAV be rendered him. Williams drinks
occasionally and every drop tastes like
more" Often has he been heard to ex
press the wish that Ibis throat was a mile
long" in order that he might enjoy in a
greater degree the taste Of the cheap
liquor which he purchases when his appe-
tite is aroused. His bump of destructive
ness suddenly onlarges and a desire to
murder prevails when his mental facul-
ties become disordcred through excessive
use Of firewater.
Williams worst acts when drunk are to
abuse his wife and threaten to end his
own existence by a dose of rough on rats
or something of that sort.
Yesterday afternoon he, speaking after
the manne of men, ''illed his tank" and
after disciplining his wife and playing
football with the children a few innings,
started for a drug store to purchase the
article which was to terminate his earthly
career and land him in the home of his
fathers.
Williams visited an establishment where
lotions, powders and bed bug poison are
retailed, and informed the tunctionary
who sells the little maids their chewing
gum in that store, hat a molar was driv
ing him crazy, would the clerk be
kind enough to sell him a small
allowance Of laudanum with which to al
leviate his sufferings. The salesman
knew of the customer and his popularity
when intoxicated, and at first refused
positively to sell him the drug, but when
informed that no doctor or dentist could
be found, gave him about enough CT the
diluted drug to cure insomnia in a New
York dude, instructing him to be very
careful and not absorb too much of it.
Williams replied that he had too high a
regard for the liquor remaining in town
to kill himself. walked just outside the
door, gulped down the mixture, and pro
ceeding to a neighboring alley, slept the
sleep of the regulation drunk.
In the meantime his family and friends
had become alarmed, and a posse was
soon securing the city in search of him.
The police were informed of the occur
renee, and being well acquainted with the
would be suicide and his habits, soon
returned him to his anxious acquaint.
ances.
When Williams awoke from his I'm
healthy dreams he was certainly the sick
est man in the territory, and vowed never
to again attempt to climb the golden stairs
by the laudanum route, and so far forgot
himself as to %insinuate that he would cease
drinking altogether.

Maggie Mitchell's new play, Maggie,
the Midget, is pronounced a superior pro
duction by Eastern critics. The story is
p%rettily told and uufolded with brisk and
sprightly action. The principal character
affords Miss Mitchell abundant opportu-
nifty for the display of her arch and
piquant style of acting, her merriment
and brightness, and her pathetic as well as
Der comedy power. the first act closes
with a dashing chorus and fandango by
muleteers and ~guitanos, in the course of
which the Midget and "Gshmael," the
gypsy, disclose their graces and agility in
the bull fighters dance" and the scene
is in itself sufficient to carry the play sue
cessfully. The play is mounted with care
and taste, and the scenery is simply
superb. 1t is expected that a large audi.
ence will greet Miss Mitchell at the opera
house to night.

Good Trade Expected.
ID. S LAMONT,

Il look forward to a very good holiday
trade in Cheyenne" said a prominent
merchant in conversation last evening.
Il have been here since the town started,
but / never before noticed people making
inquiries so early in the season about holi
day goods. Some people have already
selected the articles which they intend to
buy and as the prices are lower than they
have ever before been known here the
trade will undoubtedly be a good one"

Getting the Depot Ready.

The best evidence hat the Cheyenne &
Burlington is nearing the city is found in
the fact that the Warren Mercantile com
pany has received instructions to vacate
tie southern half of the emporium by
Monday morning. The Mercantile com
pany will for the present occupy the
northern half of the huge building. A
partition will be run through the middle
of the first floor, thus providing spacious
quarters for waiting rooms and offices.
There will be two entrances from Capitol

HIS REPLY.
The President Regrets That He Cannot
Visit Cheyenne.

1t will be remembered that several
weeks since the city council, on behalf of
the citizens Of Cheyenne. extended to the
president an invitation to visit this section
during his Western tour. His excellency.
the chief executive, was advised that his
reception would be most cordial, and that
the citizens of this territory would be
pleased to greet him at their capital city.
Yesterday Mayor Riner received the note
printed below in reply to the invitation.
The misslve is in the inimitable c~hirogra-
ply of the famous Lamont, the presi.
dents old friend and private secretary.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, Sept. %, 1887.
Hon q w. Riner, Mayor of Cheyenne,
DEAR SIR:-Ihe president has received
your letter of the 10th inst, conveying to
him the invitation of the city council to
visit Cheyenne upon his contemplated
Western trip, and has given it his consid
Grafton III connection with the route OF
travel which has Just been arran. ed for
the journey. Ii was, however, found i'm
practicable, as circumstances have clrcum
scrlbed the journey within certain limits,
which preclude the possibility of his going
as far west as your city. He regrets,
therefore, that be will be unable to avail
himself of the hospitalities extended by
the citizens of Cheyenne, but appreciates
none the less the courtesy of their invita-
ton. Very respectfully.

CURT REMARKS.

Mayor Smith-Yes, l enjoy game of
base ball as much as | did when | was
one of the boys. In my day it was called
town ball and l used to be the backstop.
1t was very seldom that let ball get
away from me, either, although | was
not guarded with mask or chest pro-
tector.
James Shea, Ryan Billiard Room-I
am not hunting for notoriety, but if
there are any poolplayers in this section
who want to make a match L will meet
them in public hall, but must decline
private tournaments.
Col. Clarke ChamberS-I wouldn't,
honestly, for fact, go across the street
to see game OF base ball; l don't be-
lieve | would.
Harry O'Neill. of Fargo-I have seen
more real eStale change hands in Fargo
during the past three weeks than had
before for two years.
William Jerry Calhoun Kenyon
guess the Chicago, Burlington IL Quincy
people have gone to Duluth, L don't
know. We small fry never know what
those big fish are doing.
Judge Flannigan-I think I'll adver-
tise for Ehle Allen.
j. +. NorriSll-Donnelly is getting to
be quite man.
Joe Reynolds-Fred Gebhardt is East
managing his horses.
Bill lrwin-So | look like a pair of
SheerS do l?
Colonel Benton of Minnesota
Will have a new capitol inside of three
years.
Gates A. johnson Jr,-I went to have
ms muStache Singed the other day and
got the end of my nose burnt. guess
clipping is good enough for me from
this out.
Tom Prendergast-I'd rather be city
clerk OF st. Paul than high lord eXecu-
TONER of any Alikado opera company on
earth.
Pat Gibbons-Dick Warner ought to
be placed on the police force.
Lew MaXiield-You don't know how
much cooler Il fellow feels when he's
president of an ice carnival association.
John Barnes-lt is Il good deal easier
to manage base ball club than it is to
stand up four rounds in front of Jack
Burke.
Johnny Ford - Regular cyclone
weather, hey?
Col. Aleck Barclay-l am with the
people, and don't you forget it. That
reminds me that in speaking of the de-
STABILITY for more street cars OH the
Lafayette avenue line about supper
time, was slightly mlSqu0ted. The
city railway company have an immense
force at work on tie streets now, and
when o'clock comes there is Il grand
rush for the cars, which are frequently
taken up by their employees. My idea
was that, to prevent a jam and give us
all a show, the company might provide
ears for their men the same as last year.
This would confer boon on the public,
and this is the way intended to express
it, with no reflection on anyone.

Milwaukee Extensions in Dakota

NiitWaukee extensions IN Dakota.
The Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
railway is rapidly extending it's lines in
Central Dakota the present season, and
as a consequence there is great activity
in the real estate market. Roscoe, in
Edmunds county, is experiencing quite
a boom, as it is on the main line of the
road west from Aberdeen to the Mis-
souri, river, and the junction point of a
branch now being completed, northwest
toward Bismarck and south toward
Sioux City. Emigration is large and the
demand for property is lively.
On Wednesday, June 8, and Thursday,
June 8, there is to be great auction
sale of town lots in Roscoe, and the
town site company will refund the rail
road fare, up to $40, to all investors of
500 or more. The fare from ST. Paul to
Roscoe is $1l.53, and from Minneapolis
$11.23, and trains leave st. Paul at 6:2O
p. m, and Minneapolis at p. m, and
arrive at Roscoe at 1885 a. M, next day,
with sleeping car as far as Aberdeen.
Ample preparations have been made by
the people of Roscoe to feed and lodge
intending PURCHASERS. A large party
from st. Paul and Minneapolis is now
being organized. For further particu-
lars inquire of the ticket agents of the
Chicago, Milwaukee q st. Paul railway.

About 800 People Came to See
How a Paper Is Made.
The register book of the visitors who
attended the second of the series of Sat
urday evening receptions which the
GLOBE has inaugurated for the enter
tainment of its friends, last night showed
an attendance of nearly 800, large ma
jority OF whom were ladies. From the
editorial rooms On the eighth floor,
through the composing and Stereotyping
rooms, and back to the press room in
the basement, where the two mammoth
presses were throwing off the first pages
of the Sunday morning issue, the visit
OrS were shown every detail of the COM
plicated processes necessary to the is
suing of single paper. The GLOBE
has reason to be proud of its equipments
and takes pleasure i'll exhibiting them
to the public. Not one out of fifty
people who read the daily papers knows
anything about the inside workings of a
daily newspaper establishment. Every
Saturday evening, from 7:30 to $50, it
open its doors for the inspection of
guests.
! One of the most enjoyable features of
aNisit to the GLOBE building is the
magnificent view of the city and sur
rounding country which may be OBJ
talned from the windows of any.of the
upper stories, and especially from the
tower, twelve stories above the street.
The expressions of wonder and delight
as he visitors gazed from that dizzy
height upon the whole city stretched
out like map below, would fill book.

and paid 100000 in cash for the
privileges of water power, the
franchise of which was held by Il COM
pany organized several years ago. 1t is
the intention of the new owners to at
once erect 2,000-barrel capacity flour
mill, and they say that the water facili-
ties are far superior even to Minneapo-
lis. During the past thirty years
records of the United States, kept at
the lock of the canal, show that the
water has not varied six inches in depth
the year round.
At the town there is fall of twenty
seven feet, with Lake Superior for a
head or dam, and the proposition is to
utilize this water power i'll 4 canal 100
feet wide, and with a depth of
from eight to ten feet, running
through the center of the town. Real
estate matters were ut a Statu quo, pre-
ceding settlement of this question, but
Immediately upon the terms of sale be-
ing ratified, which insured the compile
ton of the new canal, property took an
upward tendency, and, i'll some in
stances, doubled in value in a single
day.
Although situated nearly 200 miles
from st. Paul, there is great deal of
capital belonging to parties in this city
invested in the new town and the rosy
view of the condition of affairs will
prove very interesting to them no
doubt.
